Seva Sankalp Abhiyan reflects govt’s commitment towards people: CM Dhami
Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami visits Seva Sankalp Abhiyan camp to distribute welfare kits and ensure swift resolution of public grievances.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Saturday underscored the state government's dedication to public welfare during his visit to a multi-purpose camp held under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan in Dehradun. Speaking at the event, the Chief Minister emphasized that the campaign is a vital tool for bringing the administration directly to the doorsteps of the citizens.
The event, organized at the Kshatriya Chetna Manch on Tapovan Road, saw the Chief Minister inspecting various departmental stalls and interacting with the public. To empower local residents, Dhami distributed essential resources, including agricultural equipment, mushroom mini-kits, and specialized Mahalakshmi and Kishori kits provided by the Women and Child Development Department.
Direct Service Delivery Over Formalities
The Chief Minister issued stern instructions to government officials, making it clear that these camps are intended for more than just displaying departmental presence. He stated that the primary goal is the direct delivery of government schemes, services, and facilities to the people.
"The purpose of these multi-purpose camps is not merely to set up departmental stalls, but to deliver government schemes, services and facilities directly to the public," Dhami remarked. He directed officials to listen to grievances and, where possible, initiate immediate action on the spot.
To ensure accountability, the Chief Minister laid out a clear protocol for handling complaints:
- Priority Resolution: Public grievances must be addressed on a priority basis.
- Transparency: If a complaint requires more time, officials must clearly inform the complainant about the process and the expected timeline.
- Efficiency: Officials must ensure that citizens are not forced to make repeated visits to government offices to complete their work.
A Vision of a Developed India
The Seva Sankalp Abhiyan has been active in Uttarakhand since September 17, marking the birth anniversary of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Dhami noted that the campaign aligns with the national vision of a "Developed India," mirroring the milestones achieved by the country on the global stage under the Prime Minister's leadership.
Reflecting on previous successes, the Chief Minister highlighted the impact of the earlier "Jan-Jan Ki Sarkar, Jan-Jan Ke Dwar" campaign, which saw participation from over 6.5 lakh people and successfully bridged the gap between the administration and the public.
Focus on Healthcare and Vulnerable Groups
Under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, the state government is placing a significant emphasis on healthcare accessibility. The Chief Minister noted that the camps are being utilized to provide health check-ups and medical consultations, aiding in early illness detection.
He reiterated the government's commitment to ensuring that flagship healthcare schemes, such as Ayushman Bharat and Atal Ayushman Uttarakhand, reach every eligible beneficiary. Special attention is being directed toward senior citizens, women, and residents of remote areas to ensure they can access essential services like pensions, ration cards, and healthcare at the local level without facing unnecessary procedural hurdles.
